Fig. 6From: Conventional ultrasound, color Doppler, TI-RADS, and shear wave elastography for thyroid nodule differentiation: a study of efficacy compared with the histopathology resultsUltrasound images for a 58-year-old female patient. a Axial ultrasound B-mode image is showing two solid thyroid nodules that are isoechoic with calcification (TI-RADS 5). b Axial color image is showing internal vascularity (1b) (arrow). c Axial SWE of the thyroid nodule (Emean = 59.4 kPa and ER = 5.8). d Axial SWE of the normal left thyroid parenchyma; the FNAC revealed malignant cells with psammomatous calcification (Bethesda 5), and the post right hemithyroidectomy histopathological examination had confirmed the presence of papillary thyroid carcinomaBack to article page
